My mother is a Parsi. However, this isn't a very good reason to know about any religious community because there are a number of people who might be born in certain religious communities but they might not know anything about their roots or origins.<br /><br />The Parsis have often been described as India's most westernized community. This wouldn't be an incorrect description. They have played a great role in the development of modern India and one would be amazed by their contributions. The Parsis are also great at melding into a culture so well that the others might not even be aware of their great and lasting contributions. Often, I find that little or nothing is written about the Parsis in the media. They are rarely profiled in electronic India. This is why I have started this blog so that I could showcase all the wonderful achievements of this interesting community.Roomy Naqvyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14411116265839653933noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1649473640784655209.post-48219691060730834572008-11-06T09:20:00.000-08:002008-11-06T09:22:52.571-08:00ParsisMost of you might not have even heard of Parsis, which is certainly very strange. But one can't really blame you if you are unaware of such a small, minuscule religious community in the world. I have often read about the persecution of minorities and how minorities in various countries have politicians who try to espouse their cause. But I have never read any politician taking up the cause of the Parsis.Roomy Naqvyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14411116265839653933noreply@blogger.com0
